Though It's good to see some Sreesanth love, Let's not get carried away here.
Nah, the team cannot carry bowlers like the present Sreesanth even if you have 2 world-class bowlers playing for you. He has bowled well two times in the past one year. Once to Oz's tail in B'lore 5th day, once y'day. He is not inconsistent yet delivers overall like say, Johnson. Atm, He is just the worst kind of bowler imaginable. Erratic, expensive and unpenetrative.
I think us carrying Sharma too make him (along with Sree) look a little better than they actually are. No way should Sreesanth be in the test team atm based on performance. He obv should play the next game because he bowled well in Durban but the only time he deserved a game was against Oz (Both in Mohali and B'lore), carrying him for the next 5 games is a complete joke.
Using Johnson as an example of an inconsistent bowler, Zaheer as a good one and Sreesanth as a pathetic one:-
Performances in 2010:-
Zaheer:- 5,10,3,4,8,4,3,4,6 - 47 wickets in 9 games @ 21.97
Johnson:-5,1,2,10,1,2,5,3,0,9,2 - 40 wickets in 11 games @ 34.17
Sreesanth:- 2,2,2,4,2,0,4 - 16 wickets in 7 games @ 48.25
Sree's not inconsistent atm, He's just consistently ****. When he bowls well he doesn't tear down the opposition and when he doesn't bowl well, he goes for 5 an over.
